The University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa

Welcome to the Capstone, where tradition runs as deep as the Black Warrior River and the cry of "Roll Tide!" is the unofficial greeting. The University of Alabama is the quintessential big-time, Southern public university experience. The campus culture is dominated by an infectious, all-consuming school spirit, anchored by the legendary Crimson Tide football program. Life revolves around the academic calendar and the football schedule. The student body is energetic, social, and embodies a “work hard, play hard” mentality. Southern hospitality is alive and well; students are generally friendly, outgoing, and immensely proud to be part of the “Bama family.” Greek life is a massive force on campus, shaping much of the social landscape for a significant portion of the student body. However, with over 600 student organizations, there are countless other avenues to find your community, from academic honor societies to intramural sports and special interest clubs. The vibe is a unique blend of historic Southern charm, seen in the stunning antebellum architecture of the Quad, and the vibrant energy of a modern, sprawling campus. It's a place where students are expected to be engaged, whether that's in the classroom, in a student organization, or cheering on the Tide from the stands of Bryant-Denny Stadium.
